Waiting lists
Parents whose children have not been offered a place at a school in the normal admissions round will be added to the school’s waiting list unless they have been offered a place at a higher-preference school. The list will remain open until the end of the academic application year. If a parent wishes their child to remain on the waiting list, they must re-apply each academic year. The local authority manages the waiting list for St Mary’s.
In-year applications
An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to St Mary’s by completing the LA Common Application Form and following the instructions on the LA website.
If you are applying for a place on faith grounds, you will also need to complete a supplementary form:
Our Lady Of Lourdes Supplementary Information Form
and return this to:
St Mary’s Catholic Primary School
Wellington St
Grimsby
DN32 7JX
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.
You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.
If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions, please contact the school on 01472 357982 or by email office@smp.nelcmail.co.uk. You may also wish to discuss in-year applications with the local authority North East Lincs on 01472 326291 option 4
